The role for dietary lycopene in the prevention and treatment of prostate cancer was first suggested by epidemiological studies pointing to a decrease in risk for serious prostate cancer in men who consumed an ample amount of tomato products.

Among its many different cells with different tasks - monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, T cells, B cells, are natural killer (NK) cells, antitumor effectors [...]
